is it possible to stream video from a computer? I thought that should be easy but maybe the roku developers never thought about it.

Hi @account283canad

Thank you for keeping in touch!

To start a screen mirroring connection on your Laptop or browser use the steps below to initiate a screen mirroring connection on your Windows device:

• From the taskbar on your Windows device, open the Action center Windows action center icon
• Select the Connect button
• Select your Roku device from the list of wireless display and audio devices to start the connection

If you are unable to find the Action center on your Windows device, you can also view the list of wireless display and audio devices from the Settings menu. Go to the Start menu on your Windows device and select Settings > System > Display > Connect to a wireless display.
